Authors Similar to Sofie Kelly

March 22, 2016

CatsEarlier this month I posted an entry about Sofie Kelly‘s series featuring the first book in her Magical Cats Mystery Series, Curiosity Thrilled the Cat. So I thought I’d ask if you all can think of any authors who are similar to Sofie Kelly.

I have tried to remember who mentioned (in a comment) that she is reading Sofie Kelly’s Magical Cats now because she has finished Lilian Jackson Braun’s The Cat Who … series. (I meant to write it down, and as I have said many times, I have to annotate everything if I want to be able to pull it out of my memory banks!) So, I have started the list with Braun’s series.

In your recommendation, please be sure to include why you think that they are similar to Sofie Kelly! Thanks!

Lilian Jackson Braun: The Cat Who … Mystery Series
